Prevents custom fields from refresh on publish/save

THE BLUE DRAGON · 2021-10-25 12:03:10

Hi, currently when you click on the publish or save buttons on the Write-page it refresh the custom fields DOM elements and remove any HTML modifications that has done to them, for example it removes the “bot_image_upload” plugin UI and returns the custom fields to normal.

Unlike the custom fields, the publish/save functions does not change the Title and Body fields HTML modifications, so this seems to happen only to the custom fields.

So I would like to know why is it like that, is it a bug or is it a feature, and how can I disable it in the code please?

Yes, the custom fields get refreshed by the async save and that can cause custom write panel plugins (especially older ones) to lose their place. If you reload the page (via the browser url bar), the layout should return to usual. I think this needs solving in “bot_image_upload”. I know I struggled with this with glz_custom_fields / bot_write_tab_customize and only partially resolved it.

BTW: you might want to look at com_article_image as a potential replacement for bot_image_upload.

Thank you, is there a callback function that I can listen to and then refresh the plugin or even the whole page please?

Hi,

no warranty, but you can try to inject the following code on the admin side:

register_callback(function() {
    global $app_mode;
    $app_mode = null;
}, 'article', '', 1);
